Laser-Focused: How Minjung Son’s Research Brings Together Photonics and Chemistry for a Brighter Future
by Jack Osmond, Photos by Chris McIntosh Assistant Professor of Chemistry Minjung Son loves shooting lasers at things for a living––just check her Twitter bio for proof. She stumbled upon her passion for lasers, or ultrafast spectroscopy, as an undergraduate. After taking classes in physical chemistry and quantum mechanics, she joined a research group where […]
Neurophotonics Center’s 7th Annual Symposium on Machine Learning and Photonics in Neuroscience
Yesterday, the Neurophotonics Center’s 7th annual symposium took place on the Center for Computing and Data Sciences’ 17th floor, organized by faculty members Mike Economo and Brian DePasquale. With hundreds of attendees and 11 presenters, the topics were broken down into four sessions under the umbrella of “Machine Learning and Photonics in Neuroscience.”

Masha Kamenetska
The Kamenetska research group develops and uses novel single molecule nano-manipulation, detection and spectroscopy techniques to understand and control how the structure of the intermolecular interface affects function in biological and man-made devices.
Chen Yang
The Yang Research Group’s mission is in developing new nanomaterials with functionality gained from low dimensionality, structural and compositional complexity, and novel optical and electrical properties and for great societal impact. We adopt a “Design and Develop” strategy where we design the new nanostructures based on unique understanding gained through experiments and theories for the […]
Xi Ling
The Ling Group focuses their research interests on the fundamental science and applications of nanomaterials and their hybrid structures. They aim to use their interdisciplinary knowledge to (1) explore chemistry approaches to achieve new 2D materials and multifunctional hybrid structures in a controlled manner, (2) reveal the physical nature of such nanomaterials and the interface […]
Lawrence Ziegler
Professor Ziegler’s research interests include ultrafast femtosecond laser measurements in a variety of materials, femtosecond carrier relaxation dynamics and optical properties of wide range of materials which include liquids, supercritical fluids, photodissociative molecules, biologically important species and wide band gap semiconductors.
Björn Reinhard
The main research areas in the Reinhard Laboratory are Bioplasmonics, Nano-Bio Interface and Materials Science. We develop plasmonic nano-scale probes to probe, control, and reverse-engineer biological functionality. We are particularly interested in elucidating the fundamental principles that govern cell-nanoparticle interactions, spatial regulation of signaling, and biomimetic energy harvesting systems.
